'alimento de los dioses' Summary
Dos científicos británicos, Mr. Cavor y Mr. Bedford, desarrollan un suero capaz de acelerar el crecimiento de los seres vivos. Inicialmente emocionados por las posibilidades de esta sustancia, la aplican en una variedad de criaturas, desde pollos hasta vacas, observando un crecimiento acelerado y descomunal. Sin embargo, el suero también tiene efectos impredecibles. Las ratas se convierten en gigantes feroces, las setas crecen hasta alcanzar tamaños monstruosos, y un grupo de niños, afectados por el suero en su infancia, se convierten en colosos de 13 metros de altura. A medida que los efectos del suero se multiplican, la sociedad se enfrenta a una crisis sin precedentes. La novela narra las aventuras de Mr. Bedford, quien se encuentra en un mundo transformado por el suero, luchando por sobrevivir y comprender el alcance de las consecuencias de la ambición científica. Wells explora temas como la responsabilidad científica, la ética de la investigación, el impacto de la tecnología en la sociedad, y la necesidad de previsión y control en la búsqueda del progreso. "Alimento de los Dioses" es una novela satírica que combina la ciencia ficción con la crítica social, presentando un futuro inquietante en el que la intervención humana en la naturaleza puede generar resultados impredecibles y catastróficos.Book Details
